Aphasia at Hogwarts

Chapter 337 Dumbledore’s explanation of time

Guan Qiong was deep in thought, and Dumbledore did not interrupt. He just drank tea leisurely, savoring the unique taste from the East.

It must be said that this smell always gave him a warm feeling, as if his friends and family might walk out of the heat of the tea and return to him at any time.

When he added hot water to his tea cup for the second time, Guan Qiong made a move.

The power of magic caused light spots like fireflies to appear in front of him. Those light spots were as numerous as stars. Under Guan Qiong's control, those light spots gradually arranged into lines of text.

"Professor Dumbledore, in my opinion, time is a process of change. While changes occur, time also passes."

"As for the past, present, and future, in my opinion, the past is a stone that is difficult to change. The longer time goes by, the harder the stone becomes. The present is a mixture of water and soil. We want to make changes. There will be some difficulties at times, mainly due to the influence of the soil, which comes from the inertia left by our unpredictable past.”

"And in the future, it is an ever-changing river, and we don't know where it will flow."

After the words in front of Guan Qiong were displayed, she looked towards Dumbledore, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"There's nothing wrong with that. At least in most cases, it's correct." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"But maybe you can listen to my understanding."

As Dumbledore spoke, a crystal light suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen a whole new world.

Guan Qiong listened quietly. When he was not a wizard, the world for him was a world of technology. But after he became a wizard, the world became a world where magic and technology coexisted.

Because Guan Qiong understands that for people in different positions, the world looks different in their eyes.

This does not mean that the world they see is wrong, it only means that the world they see is one-sided, just like a blind man touching an elephant. No one can be sure that he understands the entire world.

Therefore, Guan Qiong also wanted to know what time looked like in the eyes of this most powerful wizard.

"Time is an unknown river, with an unknown source and an unknown future, and all we can be sure of is the ship we are sailing on the river now." Dumbledore spoke with a mysterious tone. .

"That is to say, in my understanding, time is only certain at this moment. The past and future are full of fog, and this also shows that they can be changed."

Guan Qiong's brows furrowed: "I can't understand, Professor Dumbledore, I know the future is uncertain, but in the past, shouldn't it be accurate?"

"Really, child, please think carefully about what you have done since you came in." Dumbledore asked Guan Qiong.

"I came in, sat on the chair, drank a cup of hot cocoa, and then asked you some questions." Guan Qiong answered without thinking, and the light spots formed lines of text in front of him.

In front of him, the cup of hot cocoa still exuded a charming aroma. He just took a sip, and the rich taste lingered in his drink, but because he was not used to it, he didn't drink much.

"I would never pour you hot cocoa. I know you are not used to the taste." Dumbledore replied with a smile, and at the same time stretched out the fingers of his right hand and tapped the drink in front of Guan Qiong.

Hot cocoa turns into tea, exuding the scent of the East.

Guan Qiong's eyes widened. In his mind, the two feelings were mixed with each other. The taste of hot cocoa and the taste of tea seemed to appear in his taste buds at the same time, making him a little confused.

But as the magic power around Guan Qiong vibrated, part of the memory gradually separated, with a false gray light.

"A little confusion spell, please forgive me, I don't use it often, but I want you to understand that this spell is the best to use." Dumbledore apologized.

Guan Qiong shook his head to wake himself up, but doubts continued to echo in his heart.

"Professor Dumbledore, do you mean that the past has changed?" Guan Qiong frowned, trying to understand Dumbledore's thoughts.

"Yes, Guan Qiong, you see, it's very simple, isn't it? You just need a confusion spell and then erase some traces, and the past becomes hot cocoa."

"This sounds more like a trick." Guan Qiong smiled bitterly.

"But it does work. If I put the Confusion Curse on the entire academy, then Harry can become a hero who kills the basilisk. And if I put the Confusion Curse on the entire world, maybe in the next second, human civilization will Take a different path, and they won't feel there's anything wrong, even if civilization was created by me in the last second," Dumbledore said.

"The past can be changed, and the future can also be changed. The only thing that remains unchanged is the present as you see it, the facts in front of you."

"I don't think it's certain now." Guan Qiong looked at the tea cup in front of her with lingering fear.

"Of course, Guan Qiong, you discovered the secret." Dumbledore nodded approvingly.

"The present will also become the past. In fact, the present is the past as far as the future is concerned."

"So?" Guan Qiong couldn't get around it anymore. The winding past, present and future made his head feel dizzy.

It is simply not a program that a brain of his age can operate.

"Okay, let me tell you the answer directly. In fact, as long as you have the power to change the world more than twice, you can truly change the world and make the past change according to your ideas."

"And at the same time, reality will change because it is the future of the past and the past of the future, so if you want to change the present, you have to have the power to change the world more than twice."

"This is roughly equivalent to destroying the world once and then letting it grow again."

"This sounds much simpler." Guan Qiong breathed out.

He had reason to doubt that he could use this theory to publish three or four papers in wizarding research journals.

After all, just explaining this idea would take several pages, let alone making it thorough and understandable.

"Yes, it is much simpler to just state the conclusion, but if you know the process, you can directly operate it." Dumbledore looked at Guan Qiong, and Guan Qiong also understood what Dumbledore meant.

"That future me will come back to change history?" Guan Qiong also looked at Dumbledore.

"I think this is the case. Something bad must have happened to him now, and he wants to change this, so he starts from his past and our present," Dumbledore said.
